It behooves to show in public to all the people;
But if any adverse calamity sent from heaven befall
Men, this it becomes to bury in darkness.
Pindar said of the physiologists, that they "plucked the unripe fruit of wisdom."
Pindar said that "hopes were the dreams of those awake."
FROM CLEMENS OF ALEXANDRIA
To Heaven it is possible from black
Night to make arise unspotted light,
And with cloud-blackening darkness to obscure
The pure splendor of day.
